[Sydney, New South Wales] – [07/10/2024]
Metakosmos launches, Kosmosuit Kernel360™, pioneering commercial software, for spacesuit & bioastronautics intelligence. This cutting-edge software aims to redefine how astronauts are trained, while also applicable to operators within extreme conditions across land, sea & air.
Drawing on the latest advancements in space technology, real-time operations, digital twins & suit telemetry, Metakosmos has engineered a software solution that replicates the dynamic and challenging conditions of space flight within a virtual training environment. Leveraging state-of-the-art simulations, advanced algorithms, real-time suit telemetry and immersive experiences, this software offers unparalleled training opportunities for students, researchers, flight surgeons, astronaut cadets, career astronauts & pilots across the globe.
Key features of Kosmosuit®Kernel360™ include:
Multi-planetary Simulation: Astronauts & pilots can now experience the complexities of human space flight with unparalleled realism, from zero-gravity environments to orbital manoeuvres and docking procedures.
Applied Biomechanics: The software employs proprietary learning algorithms to tailor training & performance experiences to individual astronaut & pilot needs, ensuring optimal skill development and proficiency.
Suit Telemetry: Suit users can engage in a wide range of scenario-based training exercises, preparing them for a diverse array of challenges encountered in space missions & extreme environments on land, sea & air through real-time telemetry.
Suit Digital Twins: Customisable suit digital twins with invaluable insights into user performance, facilitating targeted feedback and continuous improvement before operating on real-world assets.
Cost-Efficiency: By simulating human spaceflight missions with a connected suit & telemetry platform, the software significantly reduces the costs associated with traditional astronaut training methods, human resources, infrastructure needs, data discrepancies & capital equipment.
Commenting on the significance of this technological breakthrough, CEO Kiriti Rambhatla of Metakosmos stated that, “Our team is thrilled to unveil this revolutionary software, which represents a major milestone in the evolution of commercial human spaceflight life cycle. By harnessing the power of our proprietary technology, we aim to empower users with the skills and confidence needed to navigate the challenges of modern spaceflight. The tool is also of value to extreme operators across land, sea & air”.
In recognition of its transformative potential, the software’s beta version has already garnered acclaim from industry experts and space professionals alike, winning the prestigious Australian Good Design Award 2024.
Kernel360 is being developed further with support provided by the Australian Space Agency’s Moon to Mars Supply Chain Capability Improvement Grant. This has been instrumental in accelerating innovation and empowering the company to make bold strides toward commercial human spaceflight services. The tool will be deployed at the Responsive Space Operations Centre, Adelaide for beta testing.
Dr James Elliott of Kolling Institute, which is one of the oldest medical research institutions in Australia and a beta testing partner said, “By leveraging the combined multidisciplinary expertise of Metakosmos and Researchers from the Kolling and INSIGHT, among other institutions, we are breaking new collaborative ground in wearable technology for extreme environments, marking a significant step forward in human health and performance on Earth and beyond.”
The tool has a modular open architecture allowing it to adapt to other industrial segments through integration to third party applications. Alazadhar Al-Sanai a leading Saudi Arabian real time operations company is partnering through its environmental intelligence application.
With its unparalleled realism, adaptability, and cost-efficiency, it is poised to become the gold standard in human spaceflight life cycle monitoring.
